This handcrafted prayer rug displays the traditional mihrab arch pattern that has guided Islamic worship for centuries. The geometric design features intricate borders surrounding the prayer niche, with a rich palette mixing deep reds, warm blues, and cream accents throughout the field. The symmetrical composition creates a sense of reverence and focus, while the detailed knotwork reveals different pattern elements as light shifts across the surface. Small geometric motifs fill the corners and borders, each carefully planned to complement the central arch.

Woven by skilled artisans in Afghanistan using traditional techniques passed down through generations, this piece represents authentic regional craftsmanship. The foundation and pile are made entirely from high-quality Ghazni wool, known for its durability and natural luster that improves with age. Hand-knotted at 50-60 knots per square inch, the dense construction ensures this rug will maintain its structural integrity and visual appeal for decades of regular use.

At 2' 8" x 4' 4", this prayer rug fits comfortably in personal prayer spaces, studies, or as an accent piece in entryways and beside seating areas. The compact size works well in apartments and smaller rooms where authentic Afghan rugs bring cultural depth without overwhelming the space. This 3 x 5 size category offers versatility for both traditional and contemporary interiors. Sourced directly by ALRUG from Afghanistan weavers since 2002, free worldwide shipping.
